I converted my '48 chev to 12 volts and drove it 6 or 7 yrs. Starter never gave any trouble. 6 volt Chevy starters love 12 volts. Its an easy and worth while conversion and you can have a modern radio-CB-air later as you want it and not worry about where the powers coming from. OH YES did I forget to mention GOOD LIGHTS!!! 1 OL REDNECK
